Comment on Show HN: Claudoro, Pomodoro timer embedded in the Claude Code statusline

Comments

Nice. I think there will be a cottage industry of porting every Mac menu bar utility to Claude. I can't use this until it doesn't show seconds. A MM:SS timer is tolerable when it's in my menu bar, but a ticking timer right where my focus is during a work session would be very distracting to me. The best version of this, for me, would be one that leans into Claude's ability to customize its own statusbar. If Claudoro is in charge of writing timer data to somewhere Claude can see it, I can tell Claude exactly how to display the timer in the statusline.

As long as those native (Objective-C / Swift) menu bar apps are ported as native (Go, Rust, Zig, etc.) binaries for Agent CLI(s) like Claude Code or Codex CLI to use, instead of JavaScript, as this project is written, then the broader community of Agent CLI users will be fine. Otherwise, it will be another nightmare induced by JavaScript.
